I would add to that, this: *On CA, EL, EN, HE, IT, RU, UG, and ZH language wikis, HTTPS is now mandatory for all users. It is expected other languages will be added soon. Some bots may need to be adjusted, and users of Internet Explorer 8, 9 and 10 will no longer have the edit summary field auto-completed, and are encouraged to upgrade to Internet Explorer 11 if that presents an issue to them.
